Basic leather care for smooth, grained, fat, semi-fat, polished leathers:
Suede and nubuck leathers:
1. Dust off the leather using a polishing brush.
2. Use a nubuck eraser to remove specks of dirt.
3. If the shoe has Norwegian or Goodyear welt stitching, apply colorless shoe polish using a small applicator brush to make it more waterproof.
4. For nubuck, spray essential oil from a distance of 20 cm across the entire shoe, then leave to soak in. For suede, lift the hairs using a scraper brush.
For both suede and nubuck leathers use a waterproofing aerosol from time to time. Let it penetrate.
Glossy and varnished leathers:
Leather soles:
1. Dust off the leather using a polishing brush.
2. Using a soft cloth, apply cleaning wax evenly to the shoe. Then leave it to rest.
3. Wax the leather with a small portion of polish on a clean cloth. Apply it in a circular motion.
In inclement weather please remember to let your shoes dry sideways, not flat, so as to keep their soles from touching the ground. They will be ready to go once they are dry.
